About this podcast:
After contact, Indigenous foodways and knowledge were devastated, nearly destroyed and replaced with foods that are far from the people. So today, I’m talking to Native chefs and foodies about what Indigenous cuisine is, where it comes from, where it’s headed and how it’s used to connect them and their communities to their origins and traditions.
This podcast is hosted by me, Andi Murphy. I started the Toasted Sister Podcast in January 2017 and talked with dozens of Indigenous people across the country about food. This is an award-winning podcast. It got first place for general excellence (in the professional division II) in radio and podcasting at the Native American Journalists Association 2019 National Native Media awards.
About Andi Murphy:
I’m Navajo from Crownpoint, N.M. and I live in Albuquerque. I am the producer for Native America Calling, a national show about Native issues and topics, and the 2021-2022 Civil Eats Indigenous Foodways fellow. If I’m not producing, podcasting or doing Civil Eats writing and photography, I’m cooking and challenging myself in the kitchen and giving my boys (tabby cats named Carrot and Lucifur) the best life.
Since February 2019, I started accepting bookings for talks and panel discussions about Indigenous food, and a handful of cooking demonstrations. If you need my voice for an event, feel free to contact me.
I’m on Linkedin.
This podcast is affiliated with Native Voice One. The intro and outro music was created for Toasted Sister by CW Ayon (Cheyenne) of Las Cruces, New Mexico. I specifically asked CW for his contribution because his music reminds me of the time I fell in love with food in Las Cruces. I was a food writer and photographer there for a few years so CW’s blues became my foodie theme music. Check out his website and music.
Logo and illustrations, including Corn Man, Celery Sam, Blessed Mary and Sunflower Man are hand drawn by me. Promotional and food photography for Toasted Sister is also by me. Do not use any of these without my permission.
